Yacht Charter in Athens (region) - Greece

The region of Attica is a wide and mainly flat plain around Athens. Today it is a large built-up area. Athens itself, Piraeus and the suburbs take up a large part of the Athens basin with their houses and industries. The coastal areas NW of Athens up to Corinth Canal and south to Cape Sounion look mainly like a mountainous wasteland. The neighbouring Saronic Gulf or the Cyclades are, however, very suitable for yacht charterers. Athens or Laurium are ideal starting points for trips in these popular sailing areas.

Athens is quite a modern town with many historic landmarks. The contradictory mix of contemporary architecture and ancient temples exerts a special charm. The suburbs of Athens are overcrowded and unattractive. The dreaded “nefos”, the green-grey smog, can sometimes even be seen hanging over the town from the sea. Many people have elected Athens as the worst capital city in Europe. However, Athens still attracts many locals and tourists every year.

There are eight marinas around Athens, which are crowded especially in high season. Many locals also moor their boats here. Numerous charter companies have a base at Alimos Marina. Laurium, on the southern peak of the Attica coast, is not so much a marina as a harbour. Several charter fleets can also be found here.

There is a lot of history to discover when strolling through Athens - not only the many museums but also the ancient buildings, columns, fountains and parks spread over all of Athens. The Acropolis, for example, is a popular tourist attraction. It is worth taking a trip on the funicular railway from the district of Kolonaki to Mount Lycabettus. Enjoy the glorious view of Athens and the surrounding area from the mountain.
